Birthmark at the back of my eye

I've read a few posts on here about having a birthmark at the back of the eye, I have just been to opticians and have been told that I have one, I haven't been for 2 years and when they checked it was there when I went last time, I wasn't told anything about it then, I've been told to go back yearly just to check it, is this correct or should I be having it checked at the hospital 

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    Unfortunately we are not able to give you a medical opinion on this forum. Opticians are professionally trained in eye health, and will always tell someone if they need a medical referral and to seek further advice from their GP. Try not to compare stories on the forum, as everyone's situation is different. 

    I hope this helps,
